    Mass Effect being Number One? I mean hey, I love the game, but it seems a bit high. Better than Halo 3 being #1, though.

    glad it wasn't the typical putting halo at #1, but mass effect #1...I loved the game myself, but I think it had problems on the system enough to warrant not that high, the constant frame rate drops and texture pop in, which is pretty typical with the unreal engine I guess.

    I wouldn't put the Orange Box at #1 at all...it belongs on a PC list, but not so much on a 360 list (at least not at #1).

    I'm not saying it doesn't belong on the list, but not at #1 ...and I wouldn't agree that Dirt belongs on that list. I think the whole idea of a list right now is just stupid anyways...

    Halo might not be the best game, but it should be #1 because it's the iconic series of the Xbox.

    Complete and utter rubbish!

    Ok, so I'm not the kind of person to shit all over the opinions of others, but....that list is crap. I mean, GRID beat out Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Viva Pinata: TIP? Sure, the game is good and got good reviews, but is it really a game that represents the 360? It's like the Orange Box. I agree that's a great game, but it's a PC game primarily, so should the 360 version be that high when it has problems (TF2 mainly) and is better on another platform?

    I don't know. Lists are always fraught with this kind of stuff, but that one strikes be as a little bit off the way.

    I didn't like it. I love mass effect, but it's definately not the best 360 game. I also thought it was to short, with the main story only taking me 15 hours on the normal difficulty. I wish it had more real planets and better side quests. I think GeOW should be 1

    Yeah that list is pretty bad. Dead Rising in the top 10? Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 do not belong in the top ten let alone higher than GTA. But I liked that Mass Effect was number 1. It was really an underrated game by the public eye

    That is pitiful.  Mass Effect shouldn't be in the top five, much less in the top spot.  Unbelievable.

    Is all in their opinion, good list.

    Although, imo. The top 5 should be Halo 3, Gears Of War, Dead Rising, Mass Effect and Call Of Duty 4 (In no perticular order)

    I think it's a pretty lousy list. It's funny to me how the only perfect rated game on 360 at IGN can end up in 5th place. Though, my biggest problem is Mass Effect being #1. Seems like a joke to me. I need to give the game another chance, but from what I played the gameplay wasn't too hot at all.

    That list sucks.  Halo is ranked after COD4, Gears, and Mass Effect?

    You know, as I always say, game critics don't play games, they only critique them. 
    Dumb list imo.  Can't believe Lost Odyssey isn't mentioned.

    Oh well, I don't care to be honest.  It's just a list of some random person.  He says he likes VF5 which means his opinions in games = instant fail

    this would be my list
    1. Halo 3
    2. Lost Odyssey
    3. Ninja Gaiden 2
    4. Mass Effect
    5. Gears of War
    6.  COD4
    7.  Blue Dragon
    8. Dead Rising
    9.  Rainbow Six: Vegas
    10. Kameo
    11. Viva Pinata
    and then whatever.

    I seriously can't believe they listed stuff like FNR3 and Skate but not Lost Odyssey.  For cerealsy?

    But I understand why they weren't willing to put Halo 3 at the very top- theyd be flamed to death

    And you know... go online on live and ask ANYONE if they like Gears or Halo more.  You'll get one response.
    Most people actually went back to playing Halo 2 after about 3 months after gears. Youll only see a rare person on your freinds list of 100 people play it once in a while.

    As much as I love Mass Effect, there is no way that it's number 1. The combat in Mass Effect was boring and the driving sections were completely broken. Also, Forza 2 should be in the top ten and get Crackdown and Skate off the list.

    Your list is even worse than IGN's. Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon in the top ten?! There is absolutely nothing special about those games at all. They are just average run-of-the-mill Japanese RPGs.

    Gears 2 isent released yet, so its not a series yet, but yeah, gears if better then Halo, but the xbox would be nothing without Halo.


    Anyways, I agree with the 1-2 and 3 spots on that list. But I would put Bioshock a head of Call of Duty 4. and Halo before Call of Duty 4(simply becouse Halo have much more to offer, and by that, is a better game in my mind, COD 4 is fun for the 3 first 55's. but after that it was more meh for me)
